No matter how angry Ji Xue became, they always pushed the blame onto Shi Men's body, just like a piece of sticky candy, making it impossible for Lian Cheng Jun and Su Huan, these two masters, to overly pressure him. In the end, they could only leave with a huff. Su Huan sighed: "Indeed, you see things clearly, these juniors are really difficult to deal with!"

  He was also young, but now saying "younger generation" is somewhat comical. However, in the cultivation world, age doesn't matter, and everything is based on one's realm, so it can't be said that he's wrong.

  Mo Zi Chen smiled, pursing her lips: "Several seniors usually come into contact with senior figures, these worldly tricks and tactics are difficult to deal with, it's also normal."

  Lian Cheng Jun said: "If Jing Tan Zong has any secrets, they won't be told to these juniors. Let's do as you say and go back for now!"

  They returned to the original pavilion, and indeed no one was guarding it. It seemed that the disciples of Jingtan Sect also didn't know there was a secret path in the back mountain. Yu Wei carefully said: "Do we need to leave someone outside to keep watch?"

  "Are you afraid that someone will cut off our retreat? Everyone go down, lest you fall alone and get into danger!" He thought of another thing and said: "That demon also escaped from this passage. If we meet him, let's take care of him."

  Su Huan reminded him: "He has Xuanji Dan on his body, it's not difficult to defeat him, but if you want to kill him, you'll have to put in some effort."

  Lian Cheng Jun stopped talking, and led the way. Su Huan brought up the rear, as the six of them descended once again. This time they all rode flying treasures, moving at incredible speed, with a momentum that seemed to sweep away the wind and thunder, which rumbled past their ears.

  Mo Zi Chen was taking it for the second time and still felt that flying was extremely fast and wonderful. Yu Wei whispered in her ear, telling her that this flight treasure was made by Lian Cheng Jun in the deep mountains many years ago, killing a brocade carp and taking its scales to refine it. The brocade carp had been practicing for many years and was close to becoming a dragon, so this treasure was also called "Old Dragon Scales". It was quite large, and could carry dozens of people at most once, even the Nine Heavens Gale could be resisted for a moment, and it was also a protective treasure.

  Mo Zi Chen and Ren Geng Xin only heard the loud rumbling sound behind them when they escaped, and didn't have time to turn back to look. Now, following the original path back, they saw that the original tunnel was almost completely blocked, with huge boulders falling from the sky, as if an earthquake had occurred in the belly of the mountain.

  Su Huan exclaimed repeatedly: "It really has the meaning of a landslide, but we didn't see any movement outside, it's clearly an earthquake in the depths of the mountain. If you say no one is messing around in the depths of the spiritual vein, even a fool wouldn't believe it!"

  The originally spacious passage was mostly blocked, and in some narrow places, even a civet cat couldn't pass through. At this time, the leading Lian Chengjun raised the two flying pikes behind his back, which spun in the air and transformed into two pythons, pouncing forward, shattering large stones and revealing a passage that could accommodate one person.

  With his divine assistance, although the return journey was difficult, it was even faster than Mo Zi Chen's escape. In just a moment, he followed the original path and returned to where Ren Geng Xin was imprisoned.

  They arrived here and didn't rush down, but instead searched around first. This place is connected by a tunnel, with seven or eight stone rooms. Two of the stone rooms had obvious signs of being rummaged through, seemingly by different people.

  Mo Zi Chen said: "It should be Lu Peng and Luo Su who escaped, Lu Peng ran back first, Luo Su was swimming behind them. The two of them must have taken things away."

  Ren Gengxin inserted a sentence: "The demon Dao with the surname Luo carries all important things with him, and it's reasonable to say that he won't come back unless there's something else he hasn't taken away."

  Mo Zi Chen suddenly remembered that when she was about to leave, she had casually taken a few packages with her, and who knows what good things might be inside, but at this time, it wasn't convenient for her to take them out and check.

  Su Huan searched around and found a mountain cave, where she discovered an altar and two command flags. After taking a look, she suddenly became furious, "Ren Xiao said it right, this demon indeed uses human sacrifice to refine the furnace, what a heinous crime! If I see him, I will definitely behead him!"

  Using living people as sacrifices for magic is the most taboo thing among cultivators, especially in these orthodox sects. Whoever sees this will surely be eliminated as a heretic.

  Upon seeing the banner, he couldn't help but feel a shock. "This seems to be the Nine Mysteries Twelve Gates Formation, and what's drawn on it is the Intimidating Spirit Symbol. Although it's quite crude, the framework is there. This demon path seems to understand quite a few things!"

  The Ling Spirit Symbol sounds mysterious, but in reality it is extremely sinister. It involves forcibly tearing apart a person's spiritual consciousness before they are dead, extracting their essence from their physical body and using it to cultivate one's own vital energy. This technique is also extremely difficult to pass down, and it is said that it had already disappeared from the cultivation world long ago. I didn't expect to see it today.

  Lian Cheng Jun waved his hand and said, "I just scanned the entire mountain and didn't find any other aura. The demon should still be in the belly of the mountain. This time we must cut him down. We also need to take away the evidence of guilt, as a warning to all fellow Taoists. Miss Mo, you said the tunnel is behind us, right?

  Mo Zi Chen nodded and pointed with her hand: "I just came from there."

  Su Huan walked over and touched it, saying: "The aftershocks of the earthquake in the mountains should have come from behind, but strangely, this stone wall hasn't been damaged at all." He shook his head and said: "It seems like there's a unique formation boundary behind here. If we act rashly, I'm afraid we'll destroy this place."

  Lian Cheng Jun burst out laughing and said, "What's with all the fuss? Watch this!" He strode forward, grasping two flying spears in his hands. His eyes widened as he gazed intently at something, his expression extremely focused. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he suddenly let out a loud roar, and his entire body was enveloped in white light. Mo Zi Chen blinked in surprise, feeling as though Lian Cheng Jun had transformed into a majestic tiger with wings sprouting from its sides, pouncing towards the mountain wall with ferocity. Suddenly, a deafening crash shook the air, and a brilliant light filled the surroundings. Mo Zi Chen instinctively covered his eyes with his hand, and when he opened them again, he saw Lian Cheng Jun flying backward, landing on his buttocks, with the two spears stuck in the stone wall.

  He turned around, his eyes gleaming, staring at Mo Zi Chen: "This stone wall's forbidden law is so fierce, how did a little girl like you get through?"

  Mo Zi Chen was also secretly shocked in her heart, she was able to come over, one is that Ou Ou found the mechanism, two is that there should be a jade pendant protecting her, but these things she couldn't say out loud, so she just said: "This junior also accidentally triggered the mechanism. I don't know if there's anything else on this side."

  She carefully searched the stone wall, but there were no protruding stones. Cheng Jun didn't care about her and said: "Su old brother, I am a loose cultivator, I don't know so many ancient secrets, have you ever heard that there is an ancient demon cave mansion passed down here?"
